Long and short of it: Rejected from pharmacy school. No wait-list, nothing. Just flat rejected.

Seeing as I'm not a veteran of a world war and not a great orator, becoming Hitler II is not a career option.

Now I'm stuck wondering what the fuck I even do. Thoughts right now are janitor in shitty store living in shitty apartment by myself or something along those lines. Already worked four fucking years trying to be a doctor of some sort (choice of specialty varied over the last few years) and now I can't even get in to one of the easiest kinds of programs to get in to.

Go the MBA route and do something with that maybe? Not like I'd know what to do with it.

Just start throwing ideas out that aren't blatantly stupid, really. (Ex: Israeli Foreign Legion)

Obligatory: Damn it. Hope you non-degenerates are having a good day though!

First paragraph... Yeah. That's everything I've heard from pharmacists.

So pick something you like, but NOT your passion.

No gaming or computers, got it.

Or hunting... But it's hard to make a job out of that.

if you're smart enough to recognize that a quality life isn't dependent on "bought things", you can easily have a solid life without risk or doing things you find appalling.

Oh, dude, it's just going to be me. I don't need a huge lawn, 2 story house, and a Ferrari or whatever. Most expensive thing I'd want would be one of those newer Corvette models or a nice pool in the backyard with some landscaping. Some.

I understand that there's an absolute dearth of watch repairmen, they essentially set their own hours and rates (one 80y/o I know charges nearly $300 hour, doesn't need the money, has knowledge from 6 decades that others don't).

O.O

Damn.

Given your lingo, sounds like you might be in the UK.

🤣 Oklahoma, actually.

OKC is booming. I get calls from recruiters trying to get me to come up there all the time. If you like computers, go into electrical, low-voltage, or HVAC. You will start off doing grunt work, but all those systems are all now controlled by computer systems and they need people who know how to program them. You will not make much money and be treated like shit for five years, so be prepared for that. After you have enough experience, if you post your resume online, your phone will ring all day long and your inbox will fill up quick. You'll always have options. I actually had to take my resume offline because the calls became annoying.

I would avoid Fire Alarm. Every fire alarm technician I've ever met, except for one, has been a real big piece of shit. Plus it's boring.
